The Queen’s casket will be taken on a horse-drawn gun carriage from Buckingham Palace to the 900-year-old Westminster Hall where she will lie in state for four days
The Queen will make her final journey from Buckingham Palace on Wednesday and officials are expecting tens of thousands of people to line the London streets around Westminster Hall where her coffin will lie in state for four days.
Ms. Langley said she came because she admired the Queen’s deep faith and her attachment to the Church of England. “Her faith grounded her in her duty,” she said. She plans to quietly say “thank you” when she gets to the casket on Wednesday. “Hopefully it will kind of end a chapter for me,” she added.
On Tuesday afternoon, Aran Osman was busy cleaning one of the giant gas lamps that line the sidewalks around the Parliament Buildings and Westminster Abbey. “They are all looking nice and sparkly,” said Mr. Osman who works for British Gas and volunteered for the cleaning duty. Around 33,000 people filed past the Queen’s casket over the nearly 24 hours it had laid in rest at St. Giles’.
Northern Ireland has historically been a difficult place for the monarchy given the province’s sectarian tensions, but the Queen had won wide praise for helping advance the peace process in the 1990s. In recognition of that service, leaders from all parties, including the nationalist Sinn Fein, met King Charles on Tuesday.
